Encountering the Beauty Serpent Again

"I don't know about that."

Yu Qing continued.

"My master lives alone and rarely interacts with other Void Demon. As for whether other Void Demon are planning similar schemes, I have no way of knowing."

Song Wen asked, "Besides your master, haven't you seen any other Void Demon?"

"Of course I've seen them," Yu Qing. "I encounter quite a few when I travel around the Source-Qi Death Domain. However, the Void Demon are always arrogant and disdainful of us Evil Spirit Cultivator, so why would they reveal their thoughts to us?"

"Let's go, take us to see your master," Song Wen said.

"You're going to see... Lord Formless?" Yu Qing asked, his face filled with astonishment.

Song Wen wasn't actually going to see the adults of the Void Demon Clan; he was just passing by to get some food for Shadow Void and Void Dragon Vine.

Shadow Void's current strength is still stuck at the Mid Lingxu Dao Immortal Stage.

As for the Void Dragon Vine, it had already advanced to the Late Lingxu Dao Immortal Stage after devouring the Primordial Chaos Qi Embryo beneath Azure Purity City, and it had not yet fully refined it. Its cultivation was still rapidly improving.

"Formless?" Song Wen asked, "Is that the name of your master?"

"Yes," Yu Qing. "Lord Formless is a member of the Bone Serpent lineage of the Void Race. He resembles a human, with a human head and body, but he has no legs; instead, he has nine purplish-black tentacles."

Upon hearing this, Song Wen suddenly felt that the appearance of this Void Demon was somewhat familiar.

At this moment, Shadow Void's voice suddenly rang out in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Master, the Bone Serpent lineage consists of Beauty Serpent, who, like me, belong to the upper-level Void Race. You saw them in the Profound Realm."

Song Wen suddenly remembered that back in the Profound Realm, he had indeed captured a Beauty Serpent alive and later gave her to Ying Wu.

The birth of the Void Dragon Vine was a fusion of the Coiling Dragon Vine and the Beauty Serpent.

In that case, we should definitely go and meet this 'Formless'.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, lead the way to your master," Song Wen said.

Yu Qing's gaze was deep and unfathomable. He looked at Song Wen for a moment, then said nothing more. He controlled the spaceship and sped towards the Source-Qi Death Domain.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, you mustn't try anything funny. If I wanted to kill you, it would be as easy as turning my hand," Song Wen warned.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, I have already experienced your methods and will not seek trouble again," Yu Qing.

Jiang Wanyue's brows were furrowed tightly.

Since meeting Yu Qing and the others, she really couldn't understand Song Wen's every move.

The moment the spaceship ahead entered the sky filled with Origin Qi, she finally couldn't hold back any longer. She took to the air and flew to Song Wen's side, asking him aloud.

"Gu Huang, do you really want to venture deep into the Source-Qi Death Domain to find that Void Demon?"

"Hmm." Song Wen nodded.

"But... what good will this do you? Venturing deep into the Source-Qi Death Domain is fraught with danger, as I'm sure I don't need to elaborate," Jiang Wanyue said.

"Madam Jiang, please forgive me for not being able to tell you about this matter. If you are worried about your safety, you do not need to come along; just stay outside the Source-Qi Death Domain and wait for my return," Song Wen said.

Jiang Wanyue was immediately somewhat annoyed.

"What do you take me for Jiang Wanyue? Given our current relationship, we should be bound together by life and death. If you're going to venture deep into the Source-Qi Death Domain, I will definitely accompany you."

Song Wen was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Jiang Wanyue to say such things.

Isn't their current relationship nothing more than a mutually beneficial alliance? At most, it might be a fleeting affair; how can they be considered inseparable for life?

"Is this woman trying to curry favor with me and manipulate me? She's got some tricks up her sleeve!" Song Wen thought to himself.

But his face was full of gratitude.

"Madam Jiang, thank you!"

"No need for verbal thanks. Just take good care of me after this trip."

As she spoke, Jiang Wanyue gave her a charming look.

During their telepathic communication, the spaceship had already penetrated tens of thousands of miles into the Source-Qi Death Domain. The Origin Qi became increasingly dense, severely disrupting their Divine Sense and continuously compressing their perception range.

Jiang Wanyue's expression became visibly serious. She constantly scrutinized Yu Qing and the others and everything around her with her Divine Sense. She was clearly worried that Yu Qing and the other Evil Spirit Cultivator might be up to something in secret, and she was also afraid that Void Demon or Wraith might suddenly emerge from the depths of her Origin Qi.

Just then, a bolt of silver lightning suddenly shot out from Song Wen's hand.

The lightning pierced through the pitch-black Origin Qi and hurtled towards the distance.

However, this bolt of lightning was like a chain, with its end always held firmly in Song Wen's hand.

Jiang Wanyue's gaze sharpened as she stared intently in the direction the lightning had disappeared, wondering what Song Wen was doing now.

Before she could even ask a question, the electric chains had already pierced into a barren, desolate mountain.

The rocks shattered instantly.

The electric chains disappeared deep into the mountainside.

A moment later, the electric chains began to retract, and Jiang Wanyue then noticed that a Void Demon resembling a giant wolf was still tied to them.

"Extreme Yin, how did you do that? How did you know that this beast was lurking deep in the mountain without me noticing?" Jiang Wanyue exclaimed in surprise.

Perhaps due to its racial innate abilities, this Giant Wolf Void Demon was extremely well hidden, and coupled with the omnipresent Origin Qi, Jiang Wanyue had no idea of its presence beforehand.

Not only was Jiang Wanyue surprised, but even Yu Qing and the others were filled with disbelief, finding Song Wen to be mysterious and unpredictable.

Song Wen hadn't actually discovered the Giant Wolf Void Demon; he only received a hint from the Shadow Void.

"I do have some experience dealing with those beasts of the Void Demon Race," Song Wen said vaguely.

This Giant Wolf Void Demon is only at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage Realm.

Song Wen didn't mind at all, and took out a black spirit beast pouch to put it inside.

"And what's with this black spirit beast pouch?" Jiang Wanyue asked again.

"Madam, you've never seen a spirit beast pouch like this before?" Song Wen asked in return.

These spirit beast bags, capable of holding Void Demon, were already being crafted back in the Profound Realm, and Song Wen had purchased a large quantity of them. After ascending to the Immortal Realm, Song Wen also saw similar spirit beast bags, but these were larger and of a higher grade.

"No," Jiang Wanyue.

"Void Demon are different from ordinary Demon Beast; ordinary spirit beast bags cannot contain them. Only this specially made spirit beast bag can hold them," Song Wen patiently explained.

"I see," Jiang Wanyue said. "But why do you always carry this kind of spirit beast pouch? Or rather, why did you try to capture the Void Demon alive?"

"I have my own uses," Song Wen said.

The spaceship continued its journey.

Along the way, Song Wen captured more than a dozen Void Demon and several Wraith, all of which were at the ninth level of strength. Song Wen and his companions did not encounter any with higher strength, but those with lower strength were all struck by Song Wen's lightning and their souls were scattered.

After venturing nearly ten million miles into the Source-Qi Death Domain, the spaceship finally slowed down.

"Gentlemen, my master is in a cave high up in the mountains ahead," Yu Qing.

The high mountain that Yu Qing mentioned was just a dozen miles ahead.

Song Wen and Jiang Wanyue were able to sense the location of the mountain and the multiple cave entrances on its surface; however Divine Sense, they did not discover any trace of Shadow Void.

The reason was that those caves were winding and twisting, leading to unknown underground places, which was beyond the range of Song Wen and Jiang Wanyue's perception.

Song Wen calmly replied, "I've already found it. It also discovered us long ago."
